N: 1. xenogeneic (adj): From Greek, xenos + genein, to produce.
graft (n): “shoot inserted into another plant,” late 15c. alteration of Middle English graff (late 14c.), from Old French graife “grafting knife, carving tool; stylus, pen,” from Latin graphium “stylus,” from Greek grapheion “stylus,” from graphein “to write” (see -graphy). So called probably on resemblance of a stylus to the pencil-shaped shoots used in grafting. The terminal -t- in the English word is not explained. Surgical sense is from 1871.
2. A graft transferred from an animal of one species to one of another species.
